## **Deploying a model using your own compute**

To deploy your model using your own compute resources, complete the necessary prerequisite integrations and set up your workflow seamlessly on the model suite using the processes outlined below:

1. **Integrating your accounts** You can add your cloud accounts, hosted zones and create secrets for your secure information, within the [integrations](/model-suite/integrations/secrets) page.
2. **Adding your cluster** Add your compute cluster by navigating to the [Clusters](/model-suite/clusters) page and providing the necessary details.
3. **Model Optimisation**
   * To optimise a model, you can either choose an available model from our [model marketplace](https://app.simplismart.ai/model-marketplace), or add your own.
   * Optimise your model for deployment by visiting the [Models](/model-suite/optimise-a-model) page and using our optimisation tools.
4. **Model Deployment** Deploy your optimised model through the steps mentioned in the [Deployments](/model-suite/deployments/creating-a-deployment) page.
5. **Monitoring your deployment** Keep track of your deployment using the [monitoring tools](/model-suite/deployments/inference-and-monitoring) available on the deployments page.
6. **Running a benchmarking job** Additionally, you can perform [benchmark](/model-suite/deployments/benchmarking) your deployed model for specific scenarios.
7. **Inferencing** You can invoke your deployed models from the **API tab** of the model deployment.
